Raspbian is just Debian, recompiled for the particular ARM cpu the
Raspberry uses and with drivers for the Broadcom video added.  The
recompilation permits the use of hardware floating point, which is
different in the Raspberry and the ARM cpus that Debian supports.
Debian also supports ARM cpus with no hardware floating point and that
version of Debian runs on the Raspberry but is slower.
